Components
What steering component pushes a long bar right and left which causes the wheels to turn left and right. (Hint. first component we viewed)
Rack and Pinion
The most common steering system
Rack and Pinion
Rack and Pinion:
what is one of the main functions of the Rack and Pinion
Converts the steering wheel's rotational motion into linear motion which is needed for the vehicles wheel’s to turn OR Reduction of gear - makes it easier for the steering wheel to turn the wheel’s
What steering system has been banned from f1
DAS (Duel axis steering)
Hold fluid for power steering in a vehicle or truck
Power Steering Reservoir
This function falls under what gearbox system:
The ____ gear moves in an arc, transferring the steering motion directly to the wheels. This system is not as effective as Rack and Pinion
Worm and Sector/Roller
Tie Rod:
What is the function
Serve as the pivot point betwwen the steering rack, arm and steering wheel. Helps not only with steering but makes it possible
What vehicle was the first to introduce Direct Adaptive Steering
2013 Infinity
How does the driver control the direction of the wheels
Steering Wheel
A Cam and what is used to transfer rotary motion instead of a Worm gear
Cam and Lever
Steering Shaft:
What is the function
Connects the steering wheel to the steering gear. Enables the height of the steering wheel to be adjusted
How does the Banned f1 DAS work
A button in the back of the steering wheel allowed the foward and back movement of the steering column which allows for more tow angle
Filters dirt and debris from the fuild
Power Steering Filter
This steering system is like a Worm and sector/roller steering gearbox. However, it includes one more component which reduces wear in gears and reduces friction
Recirculating Ball
Steering Column:
what is the main function
Transmit torque from steering wheel to the steering column to the Rack housing
Which steering system causes more damage to the environment and why
Hydraulic Steering system
produces fuel emissions
Which gearbox steering component requires a Wheel (Hint. shares part of the name with another gearbox system)
Worm and Wheel
What steering system uses a hydraulic system to make steering easier and convenient
Worm and Wheel:
Name all four main functions of the Worm and Wheel Gearbox system
Converts Rotary motion
Torque manipulation
High Mechanical advantage
Precision Control
How many times can the steering input of the Direct Adaptive Steering system process and adjust per second
